Tuesday Takeover: MakeupAtoZ

Tuesday, 2 April 2013

This second instalment of Tuesday Takeover will be by Tanzina of Makeup A to Z (or atoz lol).

I recently have been teaching her my makeup techniques and we decided to do this look I had done on a previous client:

I went through what was used and where and she followed my instructions and copied the look perfectly!

So without further ado, here's her post:

Hi lovelies!

Quick introduction, my name is Tanzina and I
write over at Makeup A to Z, (that’s Makeup Ai Too Zed and not ahtoz like Safiyah
first thought it was!) I’m a beauty blogger which a penchant for all things
beauty related but I haven’t really been brave enough to do makeup looks over at
my blog. I’ve always played around with makeup, created some hits and some huge
misses when playing around and recently Safiyah has taken me under her wings
and made me her little pet project. She’s been brushing up my makeup skills,
and I’ve earned the title of Frootibeauty’s very first apprentice!

In one of our makeup workshops/ slash /my shisha fixes/
slash /girly chat dates, I managed to create a look inspired by our very own
Frooti/s clients and I thought as part of the second Tuesday Take Over, I would attempt
my very first makeup look posts! I hope you enjoy the post, and I’m able to do
half as good as Safiyah when it comes to explaining!

I arrived at Safiyah’s place with my brows already done
using the Japonesque Brow Kit, I’m
okay with going out the house without makeup but I find just going the extra
step and making the brows tidy really makes a huge difference. To create the
look, I applied UDPP and NYXMilk Jumbo Pencil to create the base. I applied La Femme Gold Leaf all over the eye lid
up to the crease. This is such a unique olive gold colour, it’s gorgeous. I
then applied Model’s Own Pearl pigment
in the inner corner of my eyes to highlight it. I applied UD Adore to the crease and blended upwards and also bought it out
like a V shape on the outer corners (Saf is so much better at explaining
blending techniques, I’m not going to even try!). Later on I went and added a
tiny bit of MAC Carbon which is a
matte black to the crease just to add a little bit more definition to the
socket line. I blended the blue out with UD
Freestyle and also used that to highlight my brow bone. I added more Models Own Pearl to the inner corner
and UD Pencil in Dime to the bottom lash line, still
focusing in the corner. I added UD
Pencil in Deviant, a pop of
blue, to the outer half of the bottom lash line and set it with UD Adore shadow. I then lined the
waterline with UD pencil in Perversion and liquid lined the eyes in
liquid Perversion. After using
mascara I popped on some lashes, and that’s the eyes done!

For face, the first thing I started with was the UD Concealer Pencil in ATF, and cleaned up under the eyes and
helped make the outer shadow line more straight and tidy. I then applied it under
my eyes because unfortunately nothing I do seems to help get rid of these
stupid dark circles. I then applied my base, the Estee Lauder foundation, and set it all with Ben Nye Banana Powder. I contoured my cheek with the Sleek Face Form and also highlighted
using the same palette. For blush, I used the UD Flushed palette which has a really pretty pink shade in it!

For lips, it’s a super easy recipe. I lined my lips using MAC Pencil in Embrace Me, which is a gorgeous shocking pink lip liner. I think its
limited edition but fingers crossed it still should be in stores as I only bought
it last month. I then applied my favourite pink, MAC Girl About Town. And we are done with the look!

I know my pictures aren’t as helpful, I don’t really have as
many eye close up as Safiyah but I’m learning! Hopefully next time round they’ll
be better, this time I had a few problems with focusing and only realised until
I had taken all my makeup off. Sucks!

I hope you enjoyed reading today’s post
and the takeover was successful. If you haven’t had a look at my blog before I
would love it if you have peek and I’m also over on Bloglovin (link) Facebook
(link) twitter (link) and all that good stuff. I leave you with a super cheesy
picture of me smiling, believe me when I say I saved you from seeing the worst!
Saf knows what I’m talking about.

Take care lovelies :) Tanzina x
